Steam Dumplings

Steaming dumplings is the most straight forward method. Whether you are using a bamboo steamer or metal steamer, brush the bottom with light oil or use a butter paper to line the bottom.

Place frozen dumplings on top in one layer and don’t crowd them. Give them at least 1 inch of space in between. Place the frozen dumplings on the steamer once after the water has come to boil and cover it with a lid.

The steaming time varies depending on the number of the dumpling.

Start checking at 8 or 10 minutes to see if it looks cooked. Once it looks cooked, cut one open and try it. If it’s not done, continue steaming, and check again in a few minutes. The majority of the dumplings would be done around 10 – 15 minutes.

Finally, serve them with the seasoning dipping sauce.

The absolute fastest, Microwave

Steaming dumplings is the most straight forward method which can be done through microwave as well.

Place frozen dumplings in a microwave-safe bowl and add water until they're about half covered. Place a microwave-safe lid on top to cover the bowl, then microwave on high power until the dumplings are cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Drain the remaining water and heat them again for 1-2 minutes.

Place them on the plate and serve them with the seasoning dipping sauce.

Fry dumplings

Add cooking oil to a frying pan, turn the heat on to high. Add enough oil that will allow the dumplings to be fully submerged in it. Or use a deep fryer if you have one.

Heat the oil on the stove at high temperature about 170 ° C. If you are using a wok, stick a candy thermometer in the oil to make sure it gets to the correct temperature.

Use a metal slotted spoon to carefully lower the frozen dumplings into the hot oil. Allow them to cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy. Don't overcrowd the wok; cook the dumplings in batches if necessary.

Remove the dumplings from the hot oil with the slotted spoon and place them on a paper tissue to drain excess oil.

Finally, serve them with the seasoning dipping sauce.

Kothey Dumplings

Add about 1 tablespoon oil to the frying pan and place the dumplings flat side down on medium heat cook until it has a golden hue. Shallow fry them for a few minutes but do not turn them around.

When golden brown, add enough water into the pan to submerge all of the dumplings halfway. Since the oil will be really hot at this point, as soon as the water is added some of the water is going to splatter out of the pan. Place the lid on the pan.

Turn heat to low-medium on a gas stove, steam for about 5-8 minutes. You're basically steaming the dumplings until they're done.

When 8 minutes are up, open the lid. There may be some water/liquid left over. Turn the heat up again, and let the water evaporate, the crispy part on the bottom of the dumplings develops.

Place them on the plate and serve them with the seasoning dipping sauce
